EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph taken in September 1943, we are transported back to a time when transportation was simpler yet carried immense significance. The image showcases Lester Ward, an American bus driver for Greyhound, as he skillfully maneuvers the bus out of a parking lot in Columbus, Ohio. Captured by the talented photographer Esther Bubley, known for her work with the Farm Security Administration (FSA), this snapshot beautifully encapsulates the essence of mid-20th century travel. With his focused gaze and steady hands on the wheel, Ward exudes confidence and professionalism. The dimly lit surroundings add an air of mystery to the scene, hinting at a late-night departure or arrival. As we peer into this moment frozen in time, we can almost hear the low hum of the engine and feel the anticipation that comes with embarking on a journey through America's heartland. This photograph serves as a reminder of how vital bus drivers like Lester Ward were during wartime America. They provided not only essential transportation but also served as beacons of hope for those traveling across vast distances to reunite with loved ones or fulfill their duties. As part of The Granger Collection's extensive archives capturing historical moments from around the world, this print is sure to evoke nostalgia and admiration for those who dedicated themselves to keeping our nation moving forward during challenging times.
